Just a few quick notes ...

Winter's coming; s'posed to snow today.

We celebrated our 19th month anniversary on the 25th by having a lovely dinner at the Kennebec Café, one of our absolute favorite eat-out places. It's midway twixt Durango and Mancos in a beautiful mountain valley setting. Great food at reasonable prices in an elegant setting with good service ... what better way to spend an evening with a loved one?

And last night we ate out again, this time at the Absolute Bakery in Mancos, one of our favorite in-town eateries. They've just recently begun offering supper, so it was nice to support them and to have a couple of other families come in before we left.

Otherwise, we've been catching up with pictures (had a month's backlog) and civic stuff. Think we've got the chamber of commerce calendar figured out, which also means we personally know when the predictable events for next year are. I moderated an Issues Forum the Green Party put on at the Cortez high school ... nice to see both students and elected officials get together to discuss issues of interest to the young people.

I'm off to a VALE meeting in Cortez and some shopping, then we go to Durango tonight to pick up pictures from the exhibit in the library there. With snow forecast, we hope to be back early.

Tomorrow I'm going to be the guinea pig/speaker at a high school careers class in Cortez. Thursday is the event of the Fall: Halloween dance at SWOS! Only Sandy would be able to get me to put on a costume!

Maybe things will settle down in the following week. Got some bananas and apples sliced and dried in the last week, too; yummy snacks for the winter. tv
